Grozni (16/5), Balkito (10/3), Coventry (5/1), Bonne Debut (5/1), Portstorm (8/1), Endlessly (10/1), Ballykeel (12/1), Paddy Wickla (14/1), Robinstown (14/1), Benkei (16/1), Punters Poet (16/1), Glenquin Castle (22/1), Grangeclare Native (40/1), Robyndeglory (40/1), Lighthouse Rose (100/1)

It's probably best to draw a line through GROZNI's latest effort at Listowel and he is better judged on his Navan breakthrough success just 2 days earlier. The 6-y-o shapes as though well worth another crack at this trip and he remains on a nice mark based on his bumper exploits. The hat-trick seeking Balkito will be a big threat if fully tuned-up following a break, while Bonne Debut, Benkei and Punters Poet are others to consider.
